1. Locking

   Locking is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England. It is a predominantly quiet residential area of North Somerset, 3.5 miles south east of the town of Weston-super-Mare and houses a large farming contingent. As well as a pub and church the village has a village hall, school, a post office, two hairdressers, a Chinese takeaway, a reptile shop and petrol service station comprising car sales and a mechanical workshop. The village gave its name to RAF Locking, which has now closed and proposals are under consideration for an employment and residential development for the site that could deliver 25 hectare of employment space and up to 1,800 new homes. In July 2011, North Somerset Council gave planning permission for the £50 million LeisureDome to be constructed on the site. It will contain a 210-metre indoor ski slope, other leisure facilities and a number of shops and restaurants.

Examples of locking in a Sentence

1. Bree Butler:

   We need to keep guns in check and out of the way of those who can harm others and themselves, we don’t want to take away guns. What I mean is common sense solutions-making sure guns don’t fall into young children’s hands, locking guns in a safe place, reporting when guns go missing.

2. Eyal Lifshitz:

   We are making sure we are locking in capital for longer periods of time, and from providers that we trust and we know are going to be around.

3. Euan Graham:

   They have no interest in talking, they're interested in locking in their gains, the hatches are down, economically Kim Jong Un has already priced in extra sanctions.

4. Raffaello Pantucci:

5. Bill Miller:

   This theory accepts that the Darwinism that is fundamentally based on entire organisms in competition with each other is incomplete, the real narrative that really counts is unseen to our eyes. You have two moose locking horns over a female. It seems like that is the full depiction of the story of evolution, right there. It’s really just a side show. The real narrative is immunology, the cellular dynamics within the organisms, the collaborative relationships between all of our cells. These cells have their own cognitive capacity, with the linkages and partnerships between microbes.
